Antiquity of NeedIe-work.

Needle-work is as old as Eve; fancy
needle-work, however, is probably not
quite so old, so that even the elder of
the two is a trifie younger than the
hills, by whose age it is popular Gus
tom to measure time. George Sand,
in her autobiography, says of needle
work: 81 think that this exercise has
a natural attraction for women, an in
visible charm, which ] have felt at
every period of my life and which has
tranquilized my strongest agitation. p"
Another writer says: 1.-The woman
who has mind too lofty to be occupied
in the needles cunning handiwork may
be all that is estimable, all that is
lovely and all that is amiable, but she

No Danger of It's Passing Out of the Reign
ing Branch of the HohenzolIerns.
1t is stated. apparently on very good
authority. that there is little or no
chance that Prince Frederick William.
of Germany, the heir-apparent to the
German throne, can recover from his
present illness. His malady is said to
be cancer of the throat-the same dis
ease which proved fatal in the case of
General Grant. and which has baffled
medical skill to check its malignant
and deadly progress. Prof. MOrrell
Mckenzie, of England. and Prof. Vir-
chow. of Germany, who have been
called in to examine the condition of
the royal sufferer, have reported him
beyond the power of medical or sur
gical aid. and have warned his family
that he can not live long. His demise
would cause profound political sensa-
ton i'm Europe. where il has been ex-
pected that, as soon aS Frederick Will
liam should succeed his father, he would
reverse the Bismarckian policy and
cultivate the friendship of the Powers
more. 1t is well known that the heir
apparent bears no love 10 the Iron
Chancellor, and that the latter never
cared much about the Prince.
Should the latter pass away before
the death of his father. Prince Freder-
lex William, the eldest son of the
Crown Prince, and the grandson of
Queen Victoria, would become Emper-
or. He is now in his twenty-ninth year.
He was married in 1881 and has four
sons, the eldest of whom (also named
Frederick William) is now in his sixth
year. There is little danger that the
succession to the throne will pass out
of the reigning branch of the house of
HohenZollern.
Prince Frederick William, the grand
son-best known, perhaps, as Prince
Williams great favOrite with the
aged Emperor. He is dashlng, sol
dierly young fellow, full of the spirit of
adventure. Before his marriage his
daredevil ways got him into many
scrape. He is said to be not unlike his
maternal uncle, the Prince of Wales, in
many respects.
Prince William is not only favOrite
with the Emperor but with Bismarck as
well. Being twenty-nine years of age
and the father of an interesting family
of four boys, it may be presumed that
he has sown his wild oats, and will be
equal to the imperial responsibilities.

ty-first year, is called away. His wife

OUT OF A CLEAR SKY.
Strange Association Of Two En-
tirely Different Ideas.

For several years two entirely differ
ent ideas have been associated i'm my
mind in what was to me for a long time
a mysterious way.
| read somewhere in a book of Mexi-
can travels startling account of a
happy wedding party assembled in an
adobe building which was struck by an
enormous aerolite that killed every
body and buried the building out of
sight i'm twinkling.
In one of Walt Whitman's poems
there is line, "Where the lilacs last
in the dooryard bloomed." l have
never read or heard that line but in
stantly comes up in my mind the pic
ture of that awful event in Mexico.
Invariably the perfume of one suggests
the dire and sulphurous cruelty of the
other. There are no lilacs i'm Mexico.
Nor is there any mention of flowers at
all in the naive and terrible story of
natures dramatic catastrophe.
Will you tell me why fieeting scent
of spring flowers brought with it a
picture of pampas grass, a sound of
mandolin, half-Spanish song, bride
in black lace and yellow skirts, group
of happy, swarthy faces and thunder
bolt that buried them all forever and
instantly in indistinguishable ruin?
You can not. And it is my purpose
TO tell you-that is why have written
this paper.
In the late spring of 1884 there was
living at Dobb's Ferry on the Hudson,
in very pretty little half-Swiss cot
tage that glowed warm with redwood
shingles through the lilac bushes, my
friend Binninger. used to 60 and see
him quite often, for he had the ideal
home of the romancer. His was the
only perfect realization of love in a
cottage. unmarried by any of the dis
turbing elements of life, that / had
ever seen.
He had married beautiful girl, with
whom he had fallen in love. He had
won her in spite of wealthy rivals and
the opposition OF wealthy parents. The
whole courtship was kind of beauti-
full infatuation. He had good posi-
ton in commercial house in Beaver
street and on moderate income they
had furnished this little home and set
tied down into that, holy selfshness
which benignantly regards the rest of
the universe as subsidiary and contrib
utive.
And the rest of the universe appeared
to have aided and allotted the dream.
Every thing bloomed and sung and
glowed for them uneventfully. They

LanRtry's Three Dates Chss. Coghlan
A Voice From the Choral
Amusement Notes.

Mrs. Lsngtry's sale opened at the
box Office yesterday morning witt
strong indications that the public hat
lost none of its old time curiosity re-
garding that widely advertised lady
There was quite line of ticket seekers
all anxious to pay their dollar and {
half to secure first choice of seats.
People who follow theatrical event:
in the world are interested in Mrs
Langtry's engagement from another
motive than that of curiosity. The
name of Charles Coghlan, her lead
ing man, is one widely known
as that of one of the best
actors on the English speaking stage
that is, in a certain line of roles. He
is London as well as a New York
favorite, and patrons of the drama here
who have followed his reputation view
his coming as being an event equally
with that of the fair star whom he sup
parts. AS Claude Melnotte in the Lady
of Lyons, Captain Bradfordin A Wife's
Peril, and Clancarty in Lady Clan
carty, Mr.. Coghlan will have ample
opportunity for display of his mettle.
Eastern cities are unanimous in &C
cording first praise to his Clancarty.
Regarding the decided improvement
which is said to have taken place in
Mrs. Langtry's acting since her first
season. one OF the New Ysek critics
observes: 10
Mrs. Laugtry had not finished the first of
fharn m To hon
listeners feeling of satisfaction. The com.
ment was generally heard whispered about
as the curtain fell, "How much she has i'm
provedp'
And so she has. As her place has been
more generally acknowledged to be that of a
woman who has worked hard to win place
in her profession, criticism has been more
Just. As critics have grown more kind, the
actress has become more at ease, and cOnse-
quently better able to do herself justice.
Mrs Langtry not only reads the lines of
Pauline well, but she also impresses upon
the listener the fact that she feels as Paul
inc must have felt. 1t is not that she tears
alb Jut the stage like woman bareft of her
reason, as we have seen many Pauline
do. On the contrary 1t is very quiet i'm
personation, made up Of a feeling of earn
estness, OF honesty and of strict attention to
the trying business at hand. The womanly
tenderness and distress rarely yielded to We
hemence, and then only when it becomes
impossible that it should be otherwise
Besides being probably the most beautiful
Pauline we have ever seen, Mrs, Langtry
gives us added pleasure by her gowns and |
her manner The short waist baoyish gowns, |
each wisely of the same style, are girlish and |
simple in the extreme, and aid much in the |
succession of beaut fu. pictures which the |
action of the play permits. They also show |
to great advantage the loveIiest possible |
white and dimp ed shoulders If all our |
young women would look as wei as that in |
similar gowns it is a shame that To wear |
such is not The present fashion. We are |
deprived OF much sincere esthetical pleas |
